Things that should not happen... Topic

Knocked out of the tournament when an opponent is fouled on the floor, not in the act of shooting, with 1 second left in the game. While up by one point.

I've lost so many games to plays like that I don't even get agitated anymore. I can see why a player would foul in that situation...maybe the opposing PG had beaten him in the paint at full speed, was going by him and about to leave the floor for a gimmie layup. Better to foul a sub-70% FT shooter before the shot and make him earn it on the line...but the play-by-play doesn't give details. It simply leaves us to wonder why a Senior with an A-level def IQ and an acceptable def rating would do something appearing to be stupid.

There needs to be more detailed play-by-play so that we can determine if the problem is with poor programming logic or just bad luck.

I just assumed I needed to do a better job coaching late-and-close situations. It's D3, we're not going to be perfect.

To be fair, the division doesn't really matter. The program did that because it was coded to do so. It would be nice to know why with a more detailed PbP so that we could adjust our overall HD strategy.

So this, is my first ever post on here, the title thing's that should not ever happen, this new wis update says we can now only use up to 50 percent credits on a big purchase, I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this, to me this seems really crooked and money grabbing by the owner's to suck more money out of us limiting our credits that we earned for a purchase.

I'm ok with that policy but if they are going to take more money from users then we better see it in changes. I haven't seen anything substantial since they took over.

I think about 1.5 years ago. No tangible improvements to this game in that time

Yeah. One would think the order should have been make a meaningful improvement first, then adjust the way credits are spent.

Yeah guys I'm thinking they are going to lose a lot of coaches on here with this new credit usage garbage money grab, they either don't care about losing a ton of coaches over this credit rule change, or they have made a serious miscalculation on its impact, truly disappointing and crooked.

I'm very curious to see the impact of the credit change. Personally, I'm dropping all my D2/3 teams except the one I'm in a conference with friends with. For me, the fun (and goal) of D2 and D3 was trying to build a consistent winner that would make the sweet 16 every season and allow me to play for free. Of course that didn't always happen but it gave a different way for me to talk rather than targetting championships.

Now, this is ruined. Not only that, but the new system will reward coaches who go for super classes and chase championships more than coaches who attempt to build solid consistent contenders as reward points are unaffected by this change and still provide 100% of their previous value. Stacking 10-12 players in the same 2 classes and making a run at titles is the cheapest way to play the game now, in more ways than one.

I'm going for 18 teams to 12 immediately, with plans two drop to 11 once my final freshman class graduates. D1 is still fun on its own for me, Since I've mostly coached C and D baseline prestiges getting to the sweet 16 was already fairly rare so it doesn't really impact me at all in that case.

As of February 24th, 2026 these were the world numbers.
World: D1-D2-D3 - total
Naismith 110-65-60 - 235
Wooden 116-58-60 - 234
Rupp 133-52-61 - 246
Smith 113-50-65 - 228
Iba 134-42-66 - 242
Allen 127-54-61 -242
Crum 115-58-56 - 229
Tark 135-61-60 - 256
Knight 137-58-65 - 260
Phelan 108-55-65 - 228

D1 Population in order
Knight 137
Tark 135
Iba 134
Rupp 133
Allen 127
Wooden 116
Crum 115
Smith 113
Naismith 110
Phelan 108

D3 = 60-66 except Crum at 56
D2 = 50-65 except Iba at 42
